Russia Maps and Guides

We have kept a single file of the Russia and ex-USSR listings. Those covering just Russia are listed as Russia; those covering the former USSR are listed as USSR or Soviet Union.
As new maps become available for the individual republics, they are listed under their appropriate republic headings. For example, this catalog has additional listings for the Ukraine, Georgia, Estonia, and Tajikistan, among others.

The three maps listed below are all part of a series of 5 maps covering the central Caucasus, from west of Mt. Elbrus eastward to Mt. Kazbek. Only these three maps are still available. The sample image is from the second map, but is representative of all three maps.

Russia City Street Maps. Many of these maps are part of a "new" (1997) series of maps of about 40 to 50 major cities in Russia, each map consistent in format and content. Most of the others were published pre-split. Each map typically has a detailed street map on one side and a regional map on the reverse; some maps also have a detailed city center map showing building footprints. The older maps are generally one-sided with only the street map.
All maps are in Russian unless noted otherwise. Most of the older maps do not have scales or scale bars on them. Please note that supplies are limited on some of these, and re-supply is irregular at best.
We offer a 20% discount on purchase of the set of all city maps listed below. Please note: We have listed here all of the city maps for the former USSR that we can supply, regardless of their current country. Those for the new republics are also listed under their appropriate country listing. Please do not duplicate orders - they are the same map.
